A Loriginal Design of oil on canvas. The Wooden Chris Craft was owned by our Frank Hranek, our “Kristneetata” or Godfather in Slovak who owned a country store and lived on Cayuga Lake. All of the family enjoyed boat rides, fishing and water skiing with this classic wooden boat. This is an oil painting I did in his memory and donated it to the Lourdes End Of Life Hospice Center in his memory.
Donating the picture was a very nice gesture on your part & that action speaks even more than your beautiful painting.
Kristnetata (Godfather in Slovak) taught all of us how to waterski on Cayuga Lake, and his passing from leukemia brings tears to my eyes. His love inspired the painting, it needs to be where others can share in his favorite past time- sharing his Love of the water with others. The Chris Craft is now completely restored by his son-in-law.
What a lovely memorial!
Thank you, my Godfather (Kristnee tata) blessed all of our family with his love of Cayuga Lake, and the importance of sharing all that he loved. A great guardian angel for me as I am certain!
